Silver's Effect

Koyuki

i smiled slightly as i changed into my gym clothes, happy at the thought of stretching my muscles. ( http://www.polyvore.com/koyuki/set?id=203741792 Koyuki's gym cloths)

i knew i was already late because i accidentally dropped my bag and spilled everything out of it, nobody would help me either for fear of being late themselves.

it didn't bother me, in fact it made me chuckle as i looked down at my black tank top with white words.

'sorry i'm late i didn't want to come' it said and i could feel the coach's eyes on the words as i slowly walked out to the track where everyone would meet.

she gave me an evil smirk as i got into line with the other students and finished stretching with them.

once done she started to call people forward and gave them their activities for the day.

when she got to my name she paused and looked up at me.

i was the first in my group so i was alone beside her for the moment.

"koyuki." she said with that evil smirk as she continued "i am the head tennis coach, and seeing as you think you are in good enough physical condition to be late i think i will put you through a little test. let's see if you are in as good of shape as you thought, Ryoma Echizen come here."

i looked over to ryoma with a smirk as he came forward, slightly surprised.

"you and miss Koyuki will be playing tennis. teach her not to be late again ryoma."

he smirked back at me as he said "yes coach."

he then went back to the changing rooms to get two rackets for us and a pail of balls.

he tossed me a silver racket and i smiled at the feel of the grip.

although it wasn't my racket it felt familiar, almost comforting.

i knew my smile stayed on my face as i followed ryoma all the way to the court we were going to play at.

he glanced over his shoulder at me and asked quietly "so have you gotten any stronger?"

i looked up at him and my smile turned sad as i said "no, not long after we played i stopped. i haven't picked up a racket in over two years."

my grip tightened on the racket as i looked down at it.

once we were on the court i put it between my legs to hold while i tied my hair up in a messy bun on top of my head.

i then picked the racket back up and swung my arm a few times, loosening my shoulders some to prepare to play.

i saw ryoma doing the same across from me and smiled over at him before calling "will music bother you?"

he shook his head no and i pulled my phone out and flipped it to a song i liked.

monster by skillet played and i hopped on my feet a little as i said "you serve this time since you couldn't last time."

he nodded and bounced the ball a few times before serving.

i gasped slightly as the ball hit the court then bounced up into my face, twisting my body backwards i just barely dodged it from hitting my face before looking over at him with an angry pout as i yelled "hey! that wasn't nice!"

he just smirked and pulled out another ball as he called "15-luv"

i snorted and got into a ready position as he served another twist serve.

this time i was ready for it though and when i twisted my body i swiveled my racket to hit it back, although it was a shaky hit it was in.

ryoma however was ontop of and ready for it before it even bounced.

he returned it heavily with a top spin.

he had a slight smirk on his face, probably thinking he was going to beat me after all of these years but i had other plans as i returned the ball adding even more spin to it.

we rallied for a bit and i managed to hit one that alternated the spin from the constant topspin that it had.

surprised ryoma lobbed it on accident.

i immediately seized the opportunity and jumped as high as i could to smash it with all of my strength.

his eyes were wide as it hit the court but instead of bouncing it stayed in the same spot and spun, creating a dark mark on the court.

his eyes seemed to spark with excitement as he watched me smirk cockily while i seemed to slowly fall from the sky.

"i won't let you win easily Ryoma." i said as i stared him down with my smirk still in place.
